About me
I am a 14 year old Catholic homeschooler. Live in [Explicit], MI.

I will probably be maintaining this userpage more than my other one.

Also, like Prayer Warrioress I would gladly answer any questions about my faith.

My E-mail
is, Neil.down@hotmail.com.

Feel free to drop me a line sometime if you like but ABSOLUTELY NO SPAM/inapropriate stuff. [Not that I know anyone on here who does, but just making sure] Also, you should leave your username in the title if you do so I don't throw your message away. Oh, and don't worry, I will not give out your address or anything.

Some of my philosophy
"Consider it pure joy, [my brothers,] whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith will develop perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." - James 1:2-3.

Favorite phrases and quotes
"SPACE... It's HUGE. So huge in fact, that if you lost your car keys in it, they would be almost IMPOSSIBLE to find." - Captain Quark.

"So every son of a on this whole cruddy island can see it!" - A soldier on his way up Mt. Suribachi with the American flag.

"Ohhhhhh [sarcastic sadness] and all this time I thought you were trying to get closer to me. Tisk, tisk." - Guy from Red vs Blue.


 * Crazy eyes* "Ahhh, we gotta ditch the body, man!... We gotta whack-'im!" - Freddy from Back at the Barnyard

Random stuff about me




I'm currently in my Freshman year [homeschooling], and am writing a fantasy/science fiction novel.

I'm the 5th child out of 7. I have 6 brothers & sisters.

I'm a devoted Catholic and am proud to be one.

I'm very defensive of my faith and it's teachings, and I will gladly answer any queries. [as previously mentioned]

I can crack my wrists and thumbs at will.

I can't fully extend my right pinky. Either a birth defect or because of my writing style.

Pinky isn't an actual word according to my internet browser...

I'd consider myself a good debater and I can put up a good argument when I need to.

I hate Harry Potter with a passion, as well as most other things dealing with sorcery.

I like to practice martial arts and sword fighting.

I am also an ok strategist. I like playing Stratego.

I guess I could be considered a conservative.

I don't believe in any significant Global Warming threat.

I do believe that there could be less waste and garbage in the world. It takes hardly any effort to pick up after yourself.

I find rashness very annoying.

Radio commercials irk me greatly.

Ok, any commercials irk me greatly. "I can't believe it's not butter" does not need it's own channel. O.o

You have to believe me here, I'm not as crazy as I seem. I'm much more random on the internet than I am in real life.

I LOVE lazertag. My current high score for kills in one match is 18 K.

My Theme songs
This is just something random

Enter the Cage - Adema

Fade to Black - Metallica

Papercut - Linkin Park

Commissions
I am still taking requests. Feel free to ask anytime!

Please state which style of picture you want and what you want it drawn with. These are what I can do at the moment:


 * Sketch: This is just a basic character, very coarsely done but usually very fast to finish.


 * Outline: Somewhat like a sketch but the lines are thicker and not all over the place. Also fast to finish.


 * Detailed: These are kind of what I've mostly done on Redwall Wiki but they never turned out 100%. They take awhile to complete


 * Very Detailed: These ones are painstakingly put together as best I possibly can and with as little error as possible. It could take a few days or even more than a month. I've only done 1 of these and it was in pencil and a tiny bit of pen.

Drawing types [You may choose a combination but depending on which ones, it will take alot more time to finish :P]


 * Pencil


 * Pen


 * Pastel


 * Water color [Coming sometime very soon!]

Ways to maintain a healthy level of insanity
I know several of you out there say that your the craziest person on the wiki so here's something that might help you even more.


 * 1 At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.


 * 2 Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.


 * 3 Every time some asks you something, ask if they want fries with that.


 * 4 Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "In".

 * 7 Finish all your sentences with "In accordance to the prophecy".

Polls
What's your political alignment? Conservative Liberal Progressive I don't really have one Other?

Debate Page
Ok, awhile ago I had this on as a way to blow off heat with all the political stuff going on. Now I have this here as more of a discussion page for actual debate and intelligent conversation [unlike before where it was just most of us ranting about stuff, which was it's original purpose but not so anymore.] I invite anyone and everyone to this, as long as the rules are followed and are not broken.


 * No cussing or obnoxious exclamatory sentences.


 * No insults or pressuring other people.


 * Try to keep your information organized.


 * Be fair. Don't gang up on people and please respect the other person's opinions.


 * Be patient in general.

--Issues--

The page is now complete. Feel free to post.

Global Warming

I, personally, do not believe in any significant global warming, however I will not deny the fact that earth's temperature has dropped over time... only 1 degree though. This I do not find to be incredibly dangerous to the planet. --Neildown  Semper fi 03:33, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Political Correctness

Healthcare

I watched some stuff on this today. Not very good. Apparently, if the country is in some sort of extreme crisis [kind of like the one we're in now], the benefits of healthcare are arranged so that only those who benefit the country most are given the best. If you are too young, weak, or old, you lose coverage and are basically useless to the system, so you have no purpose to continue living... It seems like a genius plan if you are looking to build up a healthy super-nation, but the problem is that it is completely inhumane. Medicine is mostly needed for those who are old and weak too, not the healthy [duh]. --Neildown  Semper fi 02:24, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Amendment Rights

I like the second amendment. I know everyone has heard this argument before, but apearntly no one listens to is (those that disagree). Do you thik the terrorists, or the school shooters get their guns legally? If anything, they should be cracking down on illeagal gun trade. Anyway, that's what I think. Commander Daran  Who am I?  04:39, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. The government is trying to ban guns, yet all the people who use them wrongly aren't going to care, they've been dodging the law anyway. Taking away the Second Amendment will only disarm America and make us vulnerable. Just as a side bit of info, it is stated in the constitution that this law cannot be removed by anyone. --Neildown  Semper fi 16:53, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

The Second Ammendment is good; I mean, if we outlawed guns, people would (I believe Glen Beck touched on this) start murdering people with rail road ties or knives or something else. It's not the gun who kills people; people kill people.
